powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix stack unwind
With ppc64 -mprofile-kernel and ppc32 -pg, profiling instructions to call into ftrace are emitted right at function entry. The instruction sequence used is minimal to reduce overhead. Crucially, a stackframe is not created for the function being traced. This breaks stack unwinding since the function being traced does not have a stackframe for itself. As such, it never shows up in the backtrace: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (17 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4144 32 ftrace_call+0x4/0x44 1) 4112 432 get_page_from_freelist+0x26c/0x1ad0 2) 3680 496 __alloc_pages+0x290/0x1280 3) 3184 336 __folio_alloc+0x34/0x90 4) 2848 176 vma_alloc_folio+0xd8/0x540 5) 2672 272 __handle_mm_fault+0x700/0x1cc0 6) 2400 208 handle_mm_fault+0xf0/0x3f0 7) 2192 80 ___do_page_fault+0x3e4/0xbe0 8) 2112 160 do_page_fault+0x30/0xc0 9) 1952 256 data_access_common_virt+0x210/0x220 10) 1696 400 0xc00000000f16b100 11) 1296 384 load_elf_binary+0x804/0x1b80 12) 912 208 bprm_execve+0x2d8/0x7e0 13) 704 64 do_execveat_common+0x1d0/0x2f0 14) 640 160 sys_execve+0x54/0x70 15) 480 64 system_call_exception+0x138/0x350 16) 416 416 system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4 Fix this by having ftrace create a dummy stackframe for the function being traced. With this, backtraces now capture the function being traced: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (17 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 3888 32 _raw_spin_trylock+0x8/0x70 1) 3856 576 get_page_from_freelist+0x26c/0x1ad0 2) 3280 64 __alloc_pages+0x290/0x1280 3) 3216 336 __folio_alloc+0x34/0x90 4) 2880 176 vma_alloc_folio+0xd8/0x540 5) 2704 416 __handle_mm_fault+0x700/0x1cc0 6) 2288 96 handle_mm_fault+0xf0/0x3f0 7) 2192 48 ___do_page_fault+0x3e4/0xbe0 8) 2144 192 do_page_fault+0x30/0xc0 9) 1952 608 data_access_common_virt+0x210/0x220 10) 1344 16 0xc0000000334bbb50 11) 1328 416 load_elf_binary+0x804/0x1b80 12) 912 64 bprm_execve+0x2d8/0x7e0 13) 848 176 do_execveat_common+0x1d0/0x2f0 14) 672 192 sys_execve+0x54/0x70 15) 480 64 system_call_exception+0x138/0x350 16) 416 416 system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4 This results in two additional stores in the ftrace entry code, but produces reliable backtraces.
